Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Guests consistently praise the hotel's modern, zen-like design, spacious rooms, and exceptionally comfortable beds, especially highlighting the gorgeous bathrooms with rain showers. The central location makes it easy to enjoy Faro, though some guests have noted that taxi access involves a short walk of around 300 meters. The rooftop pool and lounge area are highly recommended, and dining at the Habito restaurant on the fifth floor is frequently described as outstanding, offering some of the best seafood experiences.

mixed experience due to service lapses

inconvenient taxi access limited breakfast choices

The location was quite central. This aspect met my basic expectations.

I found the ground floor entry problematic, especially with taxi access being quite distant at approximately 300 meters. the air conditioning controls seemed oddly configured and difficult to manage. The system's automatic shut-off when the balcony door opened proved inconvenient. also, i was surprised by the limited breakfast choices and found the service lacking in attentiveness, which did not align with the hotel's purported rating.

the hotel design showed attention to detail with harmonious furniture. i appreciated the clean environment and the central location (very convenient for exploring). the staff was helpful across all areas, from reception to the rooftop bar.

the rooftop area felt crowded because it was a small space. the double bed in my room was small. the shower and bathroom lacked natural light since there were no windows, which i found inconvenient.
